17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the coupling the analog telephone comprises coupling the analog telephone using a universal serial bus (USB) connection.

18. The method of claim 15 , further comprising coupling the WLL telephony terminal to the WWAN using an RJ-45 connection.

19. The method of claim 15 , further comprising connecting to the WWAN using a broadband connection.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the preparing the network data comprises preparing the network data according to a code division multiple access (CDMA).

21. The method of claim 15 , wherein the preparing the intermediate information comprises preparing the intermediate information according to a voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service.

22. The method of claim 15 , wherein the preparing the intermediate information comprises preparing the intermediate information according to an email service.

23. the method of claim 15 , wherein the preparing the intermediate information comprises preparing the intermediate information according to a browser service.

24. The method of claim 15 , further comprising: coupling a computer system, including a user interface, to the WLL telephony terminal; and obtaining Internet services at the computer system via the WLL telephony terminal.

25. The method of claim 24 , wherein the coupling the computer system comprises coupling a laptop computer.

26. The method of claim 24 , wherein the coupling the computer system comprises coupling a personal digital assistant (PDA).

27. A wireless local loop (WLL) telephony terminal, comprising: means for interfacing to a wireless wide area network (WWAN) that provides access to a plain old telephone service (POTS) telephone network and high-speed data access to a data network; means for receiving telephone information from an analog telephone; means for preparing intermediate information based on the telephone information according to an indicated service specified in the telephone information; means for preparing network data based on the intermediate information according to a network protocol for the WWAN; and means for transmitting the network data to the data network via the WWAN.

28. A computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, the instructions comprising: instructions for connecting to a wireless wide area network (WWAN) that provides access to a plain old telephone service (POTS) telephone network and high-speed data access to a data network; instructions for preparing intermediate information based on telephone information received from an analog telephone according to an indicated service specified in the telephone information; instructions for preparing network data based on the intermediate information according to a network protocol for the WWAN; and instructions for transmitting the network data to the WWAN.
